You can take a look at what's coming down the pipeline for Marvel in the Hachette Marvel catalogue preview [courtesy of
Bleeding Cool] of May thru August. One interesting trade in the catalogue is the adaptation of the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man movie. Specifically, there will apparently be a book that collects Amazing Spider-Man: The Movie #1-4 into a single volume. As of right now, no creative team has been announced on the project but I'd expect that Marvel will definitely be bringing out one of their top guns for both the writing and art. Feel free to flip through the catalogue yourself and see if any of Marvel's books pique your interest..
Some burning questions I want to know is who will have art duties on the title and when will we be getting these comics released? If the trade collecting #1-4 comes out in June, when exactly can we expect issue #1 to be released?
More details as we have them.
The Amazing Spider-Man is an upcoming American superhero film directed by Marc Webb based on the comic book of the same name starring the fictional superhero, Spider-Man. It is the fourth Columbia Pictures film based on that Marvel Comics character, and the first film in a rebooted Spider-Man film franchise. The cast includes Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans, Gwen Stacy and Dr. Curt Connors, respectively. The film will portray Peter Parker as he is developing his super powers in high school.
The film's development began simultaneously with Sony announcing the cancellation of Spider-Man 4. Opting for a reboot rather than another sequel, the studio announced a July 2012 release date for what was now titled The Amazing Spider-Man. James Vanderbilt was hired to write the script while Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves helped fine-tune the script. Filming started in December 2010 in Los Angeles before moving to New York City with the help of RED Epic camera. The film entered post-production in April 2011.
The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to be released in 3D and IMAX 3D on July 3, 2012. A video game tie-in is being developed and sequels of the film are being planned for release.
